Chapter 1521 - 1368: My Younger Brother Is a Villain 65
The Dan Dao Sect was an extremely laid-back sect; everyone in the entire sect was either a Dan Fool or a Medicine Fool. Other than cultivating Spiritual Medicine and refining Elixirs, nothing else entered their eyes—a whole sect of hardcore shut-in tech nerds.They couldn’t care less about the storms of the outside world, no matter how they rose and fell. Within the sect there was never any scheming or backstabbing to speak of—after all, even time for Alchemy and planting herbs wasn’t enough, who would still waste time playing mind games.
Moreover, the disciples of the Dan Dao Sect were not afraid of Great Cultivators in the least, because in this Cultivation World, aside from a few Great Cultivators who were themselves good at Alchemy, all the rest had, at one time or another, come begging the Dan Dao Sect to refine pills for them.
Even a genius like Shuangshuang, who never took Elixirs, had now come to the Dan Dao Sect to beg for a Soul Nourishing Pill for Ruoyang. Even if not for themselves, they would do it for their family.
In the Cultivation World, the Dan Dao Sect was the most harmonious sect; no matter what storms blew, everyone tacitly avoided involving the Dan Dao Sect.
Of course, the Dan Dao Sect also never meddled in any affairs of the Cultivation World; this was the reason it could remain aloof from worldly matters.
In his previous life, Feng Feiyu had never once been to the Dan Dao Sect. The Dan Dao Sect never sold anything but top-grade Elixirs; their effects were extremely strong and worked with lightning speed, while leaving no harmful residue behind—they were the very best Elixirs in the Cultivation World.
Elixirs of such guaranteed quality were naturally expensive. Many poor Cultivators only dared to buy a few bottles to keep for critical moments, and in daily life they would use some ordinary mid- and low-grade Elixirs instead.
Although anyone who wanted to learn Alchemy dreamed of entering the holy land of Alchemists, the Dan Dao Sect, not everyone could successfully become a disciple there.
Those whom the Dan Dao Sect refused, or Alchemists who, for other reasons, hadn’t gone to the Dan Dao Sect, would refine Elixirs on their own and sell them; Cultivators who couldn’t afford the Dan Dao Sect’s Elixirs would buy these Alchemists’ wares instead.
In his previous life, Feng Feiyu had been poor, so of course he couldn’t afford the Dan Dao Sect’s Elixirs, and he had never come to the Dan Dao Sect before. He had absolutely no idea what the Dan Dao Sect’s style was like.
He followed Nie Shuangshuang into the Dan Dao Sect and felt this place was truly amazing; it didn’t look like a sect at all, but more like an incredibly bustling town.
People were coming and going inside, the roads were wide, and on both sides stood rows of shops. The goods sold were all Elixirs, and there were many storefronts that specialized in buying Spiritual Medicine.
The area where the Dan Dao Sect was located was called the Hundred-Thousand Great Mountains, but in fact the number of mountains far exceeded a hundred thousand. The Spiritual Energy in the mountains was abundant, so Spiritual Medicine grew in great profusion.
Although the Dan Dao Sect cultivated its own Spiritual Medicine, wild herbs harvested outside had stronger medicinal effects. Loose Cultivators and Cultivators from some small families and small sects would go into the mountains to pick Spiritual Medicine and sell it to the Dan Dao Sect.
The Dan Dao Sect was filthy rich and never bullied anyone; as long as the goods were good, the price was absolutely fair. There were countless Cultivators who made a living relying on the Dan Dao Sect.
Not far from the entrance of the Dan Dao Sect stood a very eye-catching boulder, upon which was thoughtfully written a set of instructions for those coming to the Dan Dao Sect to buy Elixirs.
Things like which Level of Elixir should be bought at which peak, the routes to take, and so on, were all clearly marked, guaranteed to be understandable—one could say it was extremely considerate.
The Dan Dao Sect doing things this way was also a helpless move, because in the entire Dan Dao Sect there was simply no one willing to waste time on receiving guests; that would be far too much of a drain on their time for Alchemy and herb cultivation.
Shuangshuang had been to the Dan Dao Sect a few times; she was very familiar with the atmosphere and the roads. As for requesting a Soul Nourishing Pill, aside from the Dan Dao Sect’s Sect Leader Xu Fengsheng, no one else dared make that call.
Shuangshuang was a little worried, though. The Soul Nourishing Pill was an extremely precious item. Although she was determined to obtain it, she wasn’t sure whether Xu Fengsheng would be willing.
If Xu Fengsheng clamped down and refused to let go, Shuangshuang couldn’t use force to snatch it. So she had already prepared herself: if Xu Fengsheng refused to give her a Soul Nourishing Pill, she would pester him slowly, wear him down bit by bit, and force that Soul Nourishing Pill out of him.
These past few days, Ruoyang had been in a continuous coma. Shuangshuang had checked on him several times and found that his condition was not very good, which made her extremely anxious.
As Sect Leader, Xu Fengsheng lived on the main peak of the Dan Dao Sect, Medicine Fragrance Peak. Before coming, Shuangshuang had already sent a message via flying crane and submitted a visiting card—after all, meeting the Sect Master of a sect without giving advance notice would be considered rude.
Xu Fengsheng was a Half-step Loose Immortal, his cultivation slightly higher than Shuangshuang’s, but he was already over ten thousand years old. His cultivation aptitude couldn’t compare to Shuangshuang’s at all, but his skill in Alchemy was exceedingly good. This Soul Nourishing Pill had been refined personally by him.
Xu Fengsheng had the sort of face that screamed "good old man," looking very much like someone with no desires or disputes. His clothing was also very simple.
Of course, as the wealthy and overbearing Sect Master of the Dan Dao Sect, there was no way Xu Fengsheng was truly simple. Though his clothes looked plain, they were made of Jiao Xiao woven by the Deep Sea Merfolk Clan, worth ten thousand gold per inch, cool in summer and warm in winter.
Shuangshuang was dressed relatively simply today, in a plain white robe with wide sleeves down to her knees. The collar, sleeve cuffs, and hem were embroidered with patterns in silver thread—low-key yet luxurious, giving her a very immortal-like air when she wore it.
Seeing Shuangshuang rarely wearing white, Feng Feiyu had put on an all-white outfit himself, and even had a mini-sized white outfit made for Zhu Meng, who had come along, imitating the style.
After the two sides exchanged the customary pleasantries, Shuangshuang, anxious about Ruoyang’s injuries, directly took out a Qiankun Bag and went straight to the point without any beating around the bush.
"Sect Leader Xu, the purpose of my visit this time is that this junior wishes to ask you for a Soul Nourishing Pill. Here is the compensation I have prepared. If Sect Leader Xu feels it is not enough, I can raise the price. I ask Sect Leader Xu to part with a Soul Nourishing Pill."
Shuangshuang’s attitude was crystal clear: as long as he was willing to give her a Soul Nourishing Pill, she was completely open to being slaughtered on the price; whatever number he named, she would agree.
Xu Fengsheng took the Storage Bag from Shuangshuang’s hand and swept it with his Divine Sense. Inside were all kinds of extremely precious Spiritual Medicine; each one was of great value, unobtainable except after tens of millions of years.
Seeing Xu Fengsheng’s calm expression, Shuangshuang, for once, felt a bit nervous. She didn’t know whether the items inside could move Xu Fengsheng.
She had already prepared herself for the possibility that Xu Fengsheng might be unwilling or might further raise the price, but unexpectedly, Xu Fengsheng agreed quite straightforwardly.
"Our Dan Dao Sect currently has no finished Soul Nourishing Pills, so I can’t give you one. However, our Dan Dao Sect does have the materials for refining a Soul Nourishing Pill.
If Immortal Master Nie is willing to agree to one request of mine, then I can personally take action and refine a Soul Nourishing Pill to hand over to Immortal Master Nie."
For something that could make Xu Fengsheng, the Sect Leader of an entire sect, personally speak of a favor, it definitely wasn’t any easy task; but Shuangshuang still agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"What is your request? Speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."
Xu Fengsheng said, "In fact, my request is very simple, and it shouldn’t be difficult for Immortal Master Nie. I have a disciple who went with others to the Nantian Ghost Kingdom for training, and then disappeared.
Many people and I have already searched, but unfortunately, we never found him alive or dead. I hope you can help me find my disciple."
